I can vouch for them being very good. I needed a cable to go from the D type
Volvo/Laycock overdrive that I put in my MG TD to the stock speedometer. That
included a different size inner cable at each end and the end nuts were also
different. I tried to measure everything so I could tell him, but he already
knew what was required. Who would have known that a Jaeger/Smiths speedo
required a metric nut to connect to it.
BTW, if any of you know of anyone needing information on converting a T series
MG from the stock 54 hp XPAG engine to an over 100 hp B18 or B20 Volvo unit
with 4 speed or 4 speed with overdrive, I moderate a Yahoo Group called
VolvoEnginedMGs. Go to the website and ask to join or send me an email to send
out an invitation to join. A Yahoo group works pretty much like this email
list, except that besides getting the emails with pictures, you can also go to
the website and browse the conversations and pics.
